Greens Eye CDU for 2025 Coalition

Published: 2024-08-22

As Germany approaches its 2025 federal election, the Green Party is signaling a potential shift in its coalition strategy.

Currently part of the "traffic light" coalition with the SPD and FDP, the Greens are expressing fatigue with the current government dynamics.

Co-leader Katharina Dröge has stated that the party is open to forming a coalition with the CDU, emphasizing the need for respectful and trustworthy partnerships.

This openness comes amid ongoing disputes within the current coalition over issues like the 2025 budget and social policies.

Green Party leader Omid Nouripour also highlighted the possibility of new government configurations, noting the increasing likelihood of three-party coalitions due to changes in the political landscape.

Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck, a potential Green candidate for Chancellor, has warned against premature election speculation, urging the coalition to focus on governance.
